Chapter 243: 243: Stealing a Taste_1

    The man was reeking of alcohol and roughly grabbed me over the sink, nearly ripping off my skirt.


    I was shocked, and the alcohol-induced fog in my mind instantly cleared.


    As I struggled desperately, the man hurled obscene abuses at me.


    “With everyone away, let’s find some fun here, shall we?”


    The man was a full head taller than me.


    Escaping from his grasp was really hard, but I recognized his voice. It was JiaHangJiahang.


    I was shocked and furious.


    “JiaHangJiahang, have you lost your mind? Do you realize that Jian Jing is right here?”


    “I don’t care, Song Xiaoyun, I’ve liked you for a long time!”


    This man was like a lustful beast, insane to do such a thing with me.


    I knew I couldn’t shake him off, so I grabbed a ss bottle from the counter and smashed it hard on JiaHangJiahang’s head.<div>


    A loud thud.


    JiaHangJiahang screamed and let go of me.


    I quickly adjusted my clothes, and frantically fled from the bathroom.


    At this point, I didn’t dare to go back to the box room alone.


    In a moment of confusion, I didn’t know what to tell Jian Jing.


    If I tell the truth right away!


    Jian Jing was pregnant. The shock could cause a miscarriage.


    Also, this incident would seriously test our friendship. Our years of friendship might suffer a dent if she harbored any suspicions.


    After much thought, I decided to act as if nothing had happened and didn’t mention it to Jian Jing.


    In the corridor, I calmed my emotions, and after about fifteen minutes, I returned to the restaurant.


    Unexpectedly, it was a bizarre coincidence.


    Perhaps feeling guilty, JiaHangJiahang disappeared somewhere and didn’t dare toe over until now.


    He and I entered the restaurant one after another.


    Luckily, Wenya seemed to not have noticed any abnormality and was happily chatting with Jian Jing, scrolling through something on their phones.


    “Ayun,e over quickly. Jian Jing has picked a name, and so have I. Which one you think is better?”


    “Oh, you guys pick!”


    I didn’t want to be near JiaHangJiahang, so I subtly seated myself next to Su Peisheng.


    At this time, JiaHangJiahang slowly emerged from the corridor. Jian Jing noticed him just then,<div>


    “JiaHangJiahang, what happened to you? Why is there such a big bump on your head?”


    JiaHangJiahang stole a careful nce at me,


    “I identally bumped into the wall while walking, never mind. This has been an unlucky day. I’m going home.”


    Wenya halted him as he was about to leave,<div>


    “How can you walk alone? What about Jian Jing if you leave?”


    “I think I had a bit too much to drink. You guys send Jian Jing hometer. I’m leaving first!”


    I too, didn’t want to see JiaHangJiahang, so I didn’t attempt to stop him.


    I quietly watched him leave…


    Luckily, Jian Jing seemed to have no clue about what had happened. After finishing dinner.


    Su Peisheng and Wenya drove Jian Jing back home.


    As for me, I hailed a taxi to take me home when my phone rang again.


    Seeing it was a call from Wu Lijuan, I instantly picked it up.


    “Xiaosong, there’s a situation here. Can youe over?”


    She sounded uneasy in her voice.


    “Alright, I’m on my way!”


    I asked the taxi driver to turn the car around. Half an hourter, I reached the entrance of the Song Family house.


    At this time, the Song Family’s house was brightly lit.<div>


    My car had just stopped when Wu Lijuan anxiously stepped out of the house.


    “Xiaosong, you’vee!”


    Before she could even speak, her tears began to fall.


    Holding my hand, she choked out, “My two good-for-nothing sons are abroad, they can’t be relied on when something happens at home. It’s like I’ve raised them for nothing.”


    I led her into the room, “Auntie, what’s happened? Tell me slowly!”


    “I’m sorry for disturbing you sote, but I can’t think of anyone else who could help. I did call Gu Yuanzhou, but he is out of town for business and can’t help.”


    “What’s wrong?”


    Wu Lijuan seemed very flustered. It took a while before she could clearly exin what happened.


    It turns out that some time ago, Song Shixiong invested in a gold mine in D Country. A few days ago, he said he wanted to go there for an inspection.


    But since yesterday, he has been missing.


    His cell phone can’t be reached, and calls go unanswered.


    The worst part is, the news just reported bad weather conditions there. Heavy rain has caused the mine to copse.


    Seeing Wu Lijuan in such a state of panic, I tried to console her first.<div>


    “Auntie, don’t worry first! Who was with Uncle Song when he left? Do you have their contact information?”


    Wu Lijuan shook her head.


    “He went alone for this investment. Even his deputy manager didn’t go with him.”


    “Do you have the local rescue contact for the mine?”


    “I, I don’t have it!”


    With Wu Lijuan having no valuable leads, all I could do was try to calm her down first.


    Actually, finding any news is extremely difficult, mainly because we’re dealing with a foreign country. Communication barriers aside, we don’t even know who to find.


    No wonder Wu Lijuan was anxious…


    “Auntie, don’t worry first, let me ask some friends for help. Maybe, the news is not urate, and the situation might not be as serious as reported?”


    “Alright, alright, Xiaosong, I’ll listen to you!”


    From the look on Wu Lijuan’s face, she clearly relied heavily on me.


    It’s understandable. Recently, I’ve been helping her out a lot, and she’se to trust me a great deal.


    However, after more than an hour of effort, asking all my friends, the only thing that was certain was that a major mine disaster had indeed urred in D Country.<div>


    But due to the remote location of the mine, no rescue teams have reached there yet.’


    With this news, I didn’t dare to let Wu Lijuan know, afraid that it would hit her hard.


    As I was anxiously busying myself, I heard the doorbell ring.


    I hurriedly went to open the door.


    Standing outside was none other than Gu Yuanzhou.


    He stood outside, refusing toe in. His car lights were still on and he didn’t turn off the engine. It seems he didn’t n on staying long.


    He just stood there, hands in his pockets, looking at me.


    “Do you want toe in?”


    “As far as I’m aware, Song Shixiong is in a bit of a pickle. Do you want me to save him?”


    Gu Yuanzhou’s voice was loud. From his tone, I got the feeling that he didn’t seem to have any intention of lending a hand this time.


    If anything, there was a hint of gloating.


    To prevent Wu Lijuan from overhearing and bing upset, I stepped outside and closed the door behind me.


    So there we were, Gu Yuanzhou and I, under the eaves.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, is Song Shixiong safe? If he is, can you please go in and tell Wu Lijuan? She’s worried sick.”


    Gu Yuanzhou was ying with his lighter, his gaze fixed on me with a teasing look.


    “Are you so concerned about Song Family’s people?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “I’m aware of Song Shixiong’s whereabouts. After all, I was the one who took him to D Country for business back in the day. And, let me tell you, he may have left alive but mighte back dead!”


    “Gu Yuanzhou, you’re not nning to save him? He is your uncle-inw. Didn’t you im to love your wife very much? Now her uncle is in danger, and you n to just stand by and do nothing?”


    After listening to my words, Gu Yuanzhou responded with little reaction, just a faint smile on his lips.


    “Ayun, you want me to save your uncle, don’t you?”
